FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
THE TOWN OF WALPOLE, Norfolk County (formerly in Suffolk County,
until1793), was established December10, 1724, from a part of Dedham.
June 10, 1778, a part of Walpole was included in the new town of Foxborough.
February 28, 1804, a part of Sharon was annexed to Walpole.
June 21, 1811, a part of Sharon was annexed and a part of Dedham was
re-annexed to Walpole.
March 27, 1833, a part of Foxborough was annexed to Walpole.
March 28, 1834, a part of Foxborough was annexed to Walpole.
EXPLANATIONS.
1. WHEN places other than Walpole and Massachusetts are named in the
original records, they are given in the printed copy.
2. In all records the original spelling is followed.
3. The various spellings of a name should be examined, as items about the
same family or individual might be found under different spellings.
4. Marriages and intentions of marriages are printed under the names of both
parties, but the full information concerning each party is given only in the
entry under his or her name. When both the marriage and intention of
marriage are recorded, only the marriage record is printed; and where a
marriage appears without the intention recorded, it is designated with an
asterisk.
5. Additional information which does not appear in the original text of an
item, i.e., any explanation, query, inference or difference shown in other
entries of the record, is bracketed. Parentheses are used only when they
occur in the original text, or to separate clauses found there--such as the
birth-place of parents, in late marriage records.
